Nancy Nichols "The real-world scenario of a problem-solving context makes math meaningful to students. They understand through application and these threads of a theme are woven through the topics to provide a bigger picture. Students performed in a much stronger fashion on our MCAS test and investigated a wide spectrum of concepts spanning over a two-year course. We have been able to shift our least abstract learners in a positive direction."
